Old
Falls Street, USA, will host three more lectures and book signings
for the summer for 2013. The events are scheduled on Wednesdays at 2
p.m., at Old Falls Street's Wi-Fi Café area, closest to Niagara
Falls State Park. The lecture series features local authors, who will
speak on a variety of topics and sign copies of their books.

In
case of inclement weather, the lectures will be held in the
neighboring Barnes & Noble store, located inside the Culinary
Institute Niagara Falls.

Afternoons
also feature "Backyard Board Games," giant versions of popular
games such as chess, checkers and other trademarked favorites,
offered free of charge on Old Falls Street's middle block (11 a.m
to 4 p.m. each day, with extended hours during certain evening
events). Guests are encouraged to borrow traditional chess, checkers
and backgammon games from Old Falls Street's vending carts, located
at the Wi-Fi Café, each Wednesday through Sunday, from 11:30 a.m. to
6 p.m.

This
additional programming complements Old Falls Street's other weekly
activities, which include visits by Encounter Niagara's historical
re-enactors; the "Flicks on Old Falls" movie series on Thursday
evenings; the "Fridays on Old Falls" evening concert series; and
the "Jazzy Sundays" afternoon concert series.

Other
returning favorites are the annual "Touch-a-Truck" family event
where children are able to sit inside several emergency and
maintenance vehicles, on Saturday, Aug. 10, from 2 to 5 p.m. The
summer season ends with the ever-popular Niagara Falls Blues
Festival. Celebrating its sixth year, the Blues Festival will be held
on Labor Day weekend (Aug. 31 through Sept. 1).
